rlewis Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I have got a quad bike and have been interested in some lamping but i dont know how to get over holding the lamp, driving the quad and holding the gun ?? I have got a air rifle bsa ultra 177 is this enough as i dont want to bother with a rimfire because im might not like it yet? Also what is the best speed to drive the quad at ? Also what is the best lamp money can buy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 My quad has a headlight on the handle bars which is useful, I have upgraded the normal headlight bulbs to super bright ones and I just use the headlights I find 7 mph a fairly good speed but in a high gear so its just ticking over not making too much noise :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M ROBSON Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I have a frame that clamps onto the front of my quad, it has a rest to shoot off and a mount to sit the lamp on. http://www.solwayfeeders.com/products/rifl...p1321-c222.html Cheers, Mark.

al4x Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 don't bother trying with just an airgun, you won't manage to get close enough on a quad. Either you need a shotgun so you can take them running or a rimfire so you can take them a lot further out. Best light you can get is one by lightforce but if you're on your own on a quad you will also need a way of mounting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lez325 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 air rifle on a quad- not worth the effort in my opinion- far too noisey to get within range try a gun mounted lamp and some good old field craft Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
